I'm glad we're waiting until 2015. Not that I wouldn't love to be in WDW right now.
DH loves WDW, maybe almost as much as me, but he has trouble justifying the expense, especially since we're now a family of 5, four of which are considered Disney Adults, 1 Disney Child. Doing the same trip we did 3 years ago is that much more expensive.
He has his own Disney expectations, and I'm glad he won't be there during all the changes. Also, that I'll have time to get an idea of how well (or not) things are going and break it to him gently.
I remember our first trip, a dozen years ago. It was so care free, so go-with-the-flow. I know people were still going commando back then, but there wasn't this over planning of every minute of every day insanity that's going on now.
Not to imply that commando-style and planning are insane. I love planning and researching myself, so I understand why people are drawn to that style. But I also appreciate being casual -- stopping to check out a shop you've never been in because something caught your eye and getting lost in there for 45 minutes, or seeing a street performer like the tree/vine lady in AK and just sitting there to enjoy the show without having to worry so much about, "No time to check out that totally awesome thing because we have ADR's and FP+'s scheduled and while we're on that side of the park we have 2 more rides and a show we have to get to."
Don't get me wrong, I understand the convenience of FP+ as opposed to the FP-. Now, you get to choose what time suits you and your group instead of getting a random time. Which fits well with the commando planners: Fantasyland in the morning, Adventureland after lunch, Tomorrowland in the evening, and they can time their FP+'s accordingly.
Yet if you take a step back and look at it from another view, look at it from the view of someone who has never gone and is being overwhelmed with information, look at it from the view of someone who thinks a vacation is a casual, do what you feel like doing when you feel like doing it kind of thing, it's gotten a little over-the-top.
For example, as I mentioned, we're a family of 5 and are mostly considering Villas for our 2015 trip. We're looking into renting DVC points (haven't decided definitively yet). If we go that route, the company we may end up using recommends trying to book at 11 months out. We're a little more than 12 months away right now, and we can't decide which DVC. If we wait too long, we won't have to decide which one we want, because they'll be booked up! We'll have to get what we get.
And then, six months before the trip, you have to decide where you're going to eat and at what time. Therefore, you already have to have somewhat of a schedule because normal people aren't going to start their day at AK for breakfast ADR's, hop to MK for lunch ADR's, spend an afternoon at Blizzard Beach, and then hit MK for dinner ADR's.
So you have to plan which parks on which days before 180 days out so that you have time to decide which restaurant you want to eat at in the corresponding parks/resorts so you can be on the phone bright and early making those ADR's on day 180, otherwise you won't have the chance to get your favorite steak at your favorite WDW restaurant. Or you'll have to swap your park days because it's already booked so you switch your HS and EP park days to get your favorite restaurant at all during your trip, which means you have to change the ADR's you already made for your HS day, because you aren't going to be at HS that day at all anymore.
And now, with the FP+, you have to plan around your ADR's (1 hour before an ADR and 2 hours after an ADR are blocked off), and you have to decide which part of the park you're going to be in at which time of the day 60 days out for fear that TSMM will be stand-by only if you don't. (P.S. I also read a rumor on this board that someone told someone that in the future you might be able to book FP+'s at 90 days out.)
Think about it. Disney knows 11 months in advance when you'll be there, how long you're staying. At 6 months out, they already know which park(s) you'll be visiting based on your ADR's, and they're even narrowing it down to which part of the park you'll be in at which time of day with the FP+ system (or they'll know you're hopping because you're morning ADR is in MK and your FP+'s are at EP in the afternoon).
Basically, Disney will have an itinerary for every person staying on resort property. They know you will be in the park by 9am because you have a breakfast ADR at whichever restaurant. They know you will be heading over to Splash mountain at 11am. By 2 pm you will be at BOG for a late lunch. At 4pm you will have moved over to Tomorrowland because you have Buzz FP+'s, and another FP+ at 5:15 for Space Mountain. You will then head back to the castle for your dinner ADR, and you will most likely be on Main Street at 8pm to get a good view of Wishes (because isn't everyone standing on MS during Wishes?).
They'll know your every move 2 months before you ever step foot on their property. Not to get all "Big Brother" or anything, but that just seems silly to me, since I'm someone that wakes up in the morning and uses the Disney pin with the four parks on it and an arrow that you flick to decide where we're going today. But if you don't do what Disney wants, and you don't plan out your meals 6 months before your vacation, you're stuck eating counter service the whole time or making rice krispy Mickey heads your lunch (not that that's so terrible, lol). And no FP's for you because you didn't plan enough (or maybe you'll get lucky and be able to ride the stinky Stitch ride 3 times that day, woot!).
I'd also like to apologize because I had no intention of rambling on this long when I started this post!
I've thought about that.
